To avoid fire, shock, and serious personal injury, follow these
instructions.
Safety Instructions
1. Read your owner’s manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service
panel disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a
warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
3. Be careful of the fan and blades when cleaning, painting, or working near the fan.
Always turn off the power to the ceiling fan before servicing.
4. Suitable for use with solid-state speed controls.
5. Do not bend the blade flanges when installing the blades, balancing the blades, or
cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between the rotating blades.
Additional Safety Instructions for Installation
1. To avoid possible shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the fuse box before
wiring, and do not operate fan without blades.
2. All wiring must satisfy National and Local Electrical Codes. Use the National
Electrical Code if Local Codes do not exist. The ceiling fan must be grounded as a
precaution against possible electrical shock. Electrical installation should be made
or approved by a licensed electrician.
3. The outlet box and joist must be securely mounted and capable of reliably
supporting at least 50 pounds. Use only U.L. outlet boxes listed as “Acceptable for
Fan Support of 50 lbs or less”, and use the mounting screws provided with the
outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for support of light fixtures are not
acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
4. The fan must be mounted with the fan blades at least 10 feet from the floor to
prevent accidental contact with the fan blades.
5. Suitable for use with solid-state speed controls.
6. Always properly connect the retention cable included with this fan (follow the
“Installation Instructions” section carefully).
7. The support beam or joist must be secure and capable of supporting at least 50
pounds.
8. Follow the recommended instructions for the proper method of wiring your ceiling
fan. If you do not know enough about electrical wiring, have your fan installed by a
licensed electrician.

1. Attach the appropriate J-hook to the
building structure member.
On Steel Beam - Locate and drill a
13/32” diameter hole in the beam.
(See Figure 5.) Use a flat washer, lock
washer and nut on both sides of the
beam. Position the J-hook so that the
hook extends 2-1/2” out of outlet box.
Securely tighten both nuts. (See
Figure 5.)
CAUTION: When the threaded bolt
hook is used, be careful to securely
tighten with supplied lockwashers and
nuts.
On Wood Joist - Locate and drill a pilot
hole in the wood joist. Install the screw
type J-hook so that hook extends 2-1/2”
below the outlet box. (See Figure 6.)
CAUTION: The pilot hole should be
drilled no larger than the minor
diameter of the screw threads on the
hook (1/4” max.). Do not put a lubricant
on the J-hook. At least 1-1/2” of the
screw threads should be secured into
the structural wood joist.

Turning off wall switch is not sufficient.
To avoid possible electrical shock, be
sure electricity is turned off at the main
fuse box before wiring. All wiring must be
in accordance with National and Local
codes and the ceiling fan must be
properly grounded as a precaution
against possible electrical shock.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
or personal injury:
a. The fan must be hung with at least 10
foot of clearance from floor to blades.
(See Figure 4).
b. Your support beam or joist must be
secure and capable of withstanding a
load of at least 50 pounds.

Wiring Your Heat Fan
NOTE: If you feel that you do not have
enough electrical wiring knowledge or
experience, have your fan installed by a
licensed electrician.
1. Connect the green grounding wire from
the fan motor to the green grounding
wire from the supply source. Securely
connect wires with wire connectors
supplied. (See Figure 9.)
CAUTION: Use larger U.L. listed wire
connectors if supply source wires are
larger than #12 AWG.
2. Securely connect the fan motor white
wire to the supply white (neutral) wire
using a wire connector supplied (Figure
9). Securely connect the fan motor
black wire to the supply black (hot) wire
using wire connector supplied. After
connections have been made, turn
leads upward and carefully push leads
into the outlet box, with the white and
green leads on one side of the outlet
box and the black leads on the other
side of the outlet box.
To avoid possible fire or electrical shock,
do not pinch wires between the hanger
ball/downrod assembly and hanger
bracket.
WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, be
sure electricity is turned off at the main
fuse box before wiring.
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box
is grounded, contact a licensed
electrician for advice, as it must be
grounded for safe operation.

2. Lift the fan onto the J-hook and position
as shown in Figure 7. Make sure the
motor wires and retention cable at the
top of the hanger pipe are positioned
behind J-hook as illustrated in Figure 7.
CAUTION: The electrical wires and
retention cable must not be placed
between the rubber roller and the hook,
but rather as illustrated in Figure 7.
3. This fan is equipped with the required
retention cable. This cable must be
affixed to the building structure and
securely clamped in such a manner to
support the weight of the fan in the
event the mounting hook or other parts
fail. After wrapping cable around or to a
structural member that will support 50
pounds, secure cable with supplied
cable clamps as illustrated in Figure 8.
NOTE: Leave approximately 3" but no
more than 5" of slack on this safety
cable to allow for possible fan
movement. Do not exceed more than 5"
total slack.
CAUTION: It is important to note the
proper installation position of the cable
clamps as illustrated in Figure 8. To
obtain maximum holding power, install
U-bolt section of clip on dead or short
end of cable and saddle on long end of
cable. Improper installation reduces
the efficiency of the connection by as
much as 40 percent.

Maintenance
LUBRICATION - All bearings are
permanently lubricated and do not require
further lubrication.
CLEANING - This fan may be wiped off
with a damp cloth. Do not allow the motor
to get wet. Do not use solvents or harsh
detergents.
7
Check to see that all connections are
tight, including ground, and that no bare
wire is visible at the wire connectors,
except for the ground wire.
CAUTION:Do not operate fan until blades
are in place. Noise and fan damage could
result.
WARNING
To avoid possible fire or shock, make
sure that the electrical wires are
completely inside the outlet box and not
pinched between the ceiling cover and
the ceiling.
WARNING
3. Slide the upper canopy up the rod
within 1/4" of the ceiling or beam and
securely tighten the setscrew.
4. If a remote speed control is to be used
refer to the instructions included with
that control for proper installation and
wiring.
5. Restore power.
6. After completing installation, test run
fan in normal operation manner.
Inspect for any possible shake or
wobble which may be caused by
binding as a result of "tight cable". if this
should happen, shut off power supply
and re-check instructions to correct
problem.
NOTE: When any solid state motor
speed control is used, a humming
noise may be present in the fan on low
speed. This hum in no way affects the
operation of the fan and is acceptable
in most industrial installations.
To avoid possible electrical shock, be
sure electricity is turned off at the main
service box before servicing.
WARNING
Do not use water when cleaning your
ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or
the blades and create the possibility of an
electrical shock.
WARNING
The use of any other control not
specifically approved for this fan could
result in fire, shock and personal injury.
WARNING
This product is designed to use only
those parts supplied with this product
and/or any accessories designated
specifically for use with this product by
Emerson Electric Co. Substitution of
